From oar regular corrcspondcntl

tffOHi oar regular CDlit~pbItutit.l
WAslIINGToN' Jan ,13.-Congress ard
the social world OF the Capital have
both been busy during the week. So
ciety has attended the Presidents lcvce
in honor of the Diplomatic Corps. and
another given by the Chief Justice of
the United States; has eaten Mrs.
CleyelaRl's elaborate luncheon; gone
To her Semi-Wcekly MONDAY receptions.
and made and received calls 10y the
thousand. Congress has talked even
more than usual but it has voted as
well. Some OF It's most important work
was aimed at the Mormaus Of Utah.
and much was done in behalf of the
farmers and shippers Of the country,
! might as well say much WAS done
for the people of the country generally,
for the passage Of the Interstate Com
merce bill is triumph Of the people
over corporations pool-makers, and
stock gamblers. This measure came
safely through the Senate by the de-
cisiye vote Of f0rty-tAree 10 fifteen.
The Senators sat with il on Friday un-
til past midnight, and vote was not
reached until after nearly twelve con-
secutive hours Of debate.
1t is not claimed that the bill is per-
feet or adequate in all lis details, but
it is an experimental step in the right
direction. The important thing WAS
to assert the power Of the people over
the corporations that they have created
for their service, but which proved in
too manv instances instruments of op-
preston and exortion. The bin sim
ply proclaims that the master has not
yet abdicated TO the servant.
This legislation is the result Of long
years Of struggle in congress. The In
ter-State Commerce bill has been intro
duced and re-in.roduced in every Con-
gress for more than a decade. 1t has
been made ani unmade and remade,
changed, added TO and taken from,
nursed, encouraged, repulsed and
thwarted in both ends OF the Capitol
until sometimes IL seemed almost a
hopeless effort.
I'm the discussion which preceded the
Sennte's final judgement upon this mat
ter, several prominent Senator's took
part, and among them were Messrs. Ed
munds and ingalls,. The former men
tions that when the legislature OF

10 Judge Moody's lengthy article on
Statehood matters. II was published
IN the Press and Dakotaian last week,
and will appear in the next issue of the
LEADER. Here Is what the Yankton
Telegram saws OF the article:
MI John \. owen certainly gets
away with Hon. g. c. Moody in argu-
ment. III. OWen is light as to his con
suuct.ou of constitutions, precedents
and treaty obligations. The theory
that the foWer Of congress over the
people Of ,he Territories is absolute is
in direct conflict With The rights secured
10y VI ashlugtu and lis companions in
rebellion, in ;hcir struggle t. substitute
free and independent states for colon
ial yassaage. This ccutraliZiug theory.
that all power is lodged at VI ashiugton.
is tie spawn If abolition ana nurturcd
into lie under tie plea of military ne
cessity dining the war of the rebellion,
and should have died with the close Of
the strife that brought it forth. II it
b. contendcd that congress possesses
the power to deprive prcpetually, peo-
ple OF Territory from statehood and
representation. and there We're no other
redress left, il would be strong cause
for revolution against Territorial rule
When people make q state, if all the
requirements have been compiled with,
We maintain that congress has no dis
cretion in the matter, but is compelled
to admit such state to representation.
Mr.. Owen gives some mighty good an
tlOriticS.
The DeSmet leader. (DeSmet, Kingsbury Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1887-01-29

Iowa passed the first granger act some
years ago. the dIest calamitics were
predicted of it. but none of them had
come to pass, On the contrary the
railroads OF That state had prospered
more than ever before: and he believed
that when the great railroad system OF
the United States found itself com
PEELED tu submit TO this legislation, it
would tnrn out to be for its benefit rs
well as for the benefit Of the whole peo-
pie
The Senator from Kansas. who rarly
speaks without giving his remarks n
sarcastic, ironical. or witty turn, said.
among other things that he was sorry
lie had 10 vote for this bill. and he
thought good many other Senators
We're in the same condition. 1t was a
bill which practically nobody wanted,
Gut which everybody intended to vote
for. 1t was bill as 10 the meaning of
which nobody agreed, but which every
body said ought 10 pass.
Mr.. Matthews, the col0red Recorder
of Deeds from 4 lbany, is not the only
nominee of President Cleveland who is
having trouble about his confirmation
now Public Printer Benedict is hav-
! ing opposition from different sources.
Besides the 10000 members of the typo
graphical unions who are opposed TO
! him on the ground that he is not a
practical printer, there is no end TO the
criticism that comes from congress
men OF work being done daily at the
government printing Office. The con-
grcssiona Record is full or mistakes
ana sometimes the speeches and lam
guage Of members are made 10 appear
ridiculous and senselesS This sort of
thing makes the Congressman indig-
nant for 40 matter what their errors
may he. they have been accustomed TO
he put in good shape, and come out all
